We’re witnessing a conservative movement that once worshipped at the altar of free markets now betting its legacy on a form of nostalgic central planning.
The same voters who rightfully mocked ‘5-year plans’ now cheer for a policy that assumes these things will happen -
That corporations will reinvest tariff windfalls into Ohio factories rather than automation or shareholder buybacks
That workers will flock to $15/hr manufacturing jobs despite decades of evidence they prefer service-sector flexibility
That the ‘heartland’ still wants to be the heartland when census data shows even red state youth increasingly cluster in urban tech hubs.
The markets are tanking, but I moved my 401 (k) safely to stable bonds ...

Happy Friday John and thank you for the mention.
Wow, good move in your 401k! I was not as forward thinking… wild times, Neela. Hoping for some sanity soon.
I moved mine since November of 2024 😂😂
It will be a while, John lol
You're actually assuming there is a strategy here...
